Did you remove the link, or is the forum censoring something in the link ?

It does seem like an expensive endeavour... For less hp then some of the turbo-only builds we've seen on these forums

I've read about this before, combining a SC and TC to gain benefits from both. Seems overly complex, and that's the opposite reason I want this car. Not for me, but interesting, nonetheless.

Here's a video of a Lotus that employs combo-charging.

The advantages of using combo-charging is the immediate power from the super charger, then the bigger power later with the turbo.
